I like being able to see userinfo icons, userpics, and mood icons, but I do not want to see any larger images in entries. I am aware of LiveJournal's image placeholders (I see http://stat.livejournal.com/img/imageplaceholder2.png), but since most people don't specify image sizes when they post, I see the 35X35 image a LOT even when hoping to block just medium to large pictures. This is especially annoying because the image placeholder is bigger than the images it is replacing, such as those "add this to del.icio.us * digg this" buttons, which would be a lot less obnoxious than the 35X35 thing.

I'd like a smaller image placeholder. I know that there are tutorials about changing the userinfo images, so I'm hoping it would be possible to tweak the placeholder as well?

Thanks in advance!

OOOH OOOH OOOH I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!This is awesome for those of you who want to use image placeholders but don't like what LJ has:

Oh, thanks for pointing out that typo. I'll get that fixed in my own journal right away (and edit this post as well.)The placeholders don't seem to work on my own journal, either; I make a few posts with images in them from time to time and I still see my own. But it's now so much less cluttered looking on my friends page!

I can't tell you how pleased I am with myself for figuring this out. I really think it's helpful. :}Thanks for the comment!
